Scheltema@MAKE suggests the Pine is differentiated by superior graphics: 4K HDMI, hardware H264 & H265 from a 2 core MALI400 GPU.

The Orange Pi PC has a 2-core MALI400 GPU and hardware H264 and H265 decoding of 4K content, same as the Pine. Not sure whether it supports 4K HDMI out but I believe it does at 30Hz. The main differentiating factors seem to be that the Pine is 64-bit, has less RAM on the base $15 model, has battery support and isn't actually shipping yet. Oh, and the Pine is charging a lot more in shipping fees.
